Abstract: 1,176,169. Animated toys. MATTEL Inc. 1 May, 1967 [17 June, 1966], No. 19968/67. Heading A6S. [Also in Division B5] An animated figure toy having a predetermined shape is made by forming a first layer of heated, gelled plastic material on the inner surface of a mould, forming a second layer of heated gelled plastic material on a predetermined portion of said first layer on said inner mould surface, and curing said first and second layers to form a hardened unitary hollow article within said mould having a thickened portion corresponding to said second layer, connecting an animating means to said material by pressing an animator connector means into engagement with said material at a predetermined position on said first layer, softening said material under said connector means while maintaining pressure for embedding a portion of said connector means in said material, re-solidifying said softened material about the embedded portion of said connector means, and connecting animator means to said connector means for moving said portion of said toy to animate it upon actuation of said animator means. In an embodiment a mould 14 is filled with liquid plastic material 16 (Fig. 1) and heated in bath 18 so that a layer of said material forms inside the mould, and then the mould is orientated in such a way, and filled to such an extent with the same or a different liquid plastic 22 that on heating in a bath 24 (Fig. 3) a second layer is formed over a predetermined area of the first layer, in this case to give a doll's head as shown in Fig. 4. A metal animator connector means of the shape shown in Fig. 7 may be embedded in a lip 58 of the doll's head by heating the connector by electrical resistance heating and pressing it into the plastic. The insertion of such a connector into a lip may be performed using the apparatus described, and the insertion of a connector into each lip of a doll's head may be used in conjunction with animator means 72 to give a "talking doll" effect.

Abstract: 675,449. Reciprocatory filing. AKTIEBOLAGET DENTATUS. Aug. 22, 1950 [Aug. 23, 1949], No. 20735/50. Class 83 (iii). [Also in Groups XXIII and XXIV] A reciprocatory hand tool has a holder 13 for a file or grinding-block driven by a crank mechanism in which the length of stroke can be varied by adjusting the eccentricity of the crank-pin 8, balancing means being automatically adjusted at the same time so that the crank mechanism remains balanced. The balancing means may be a counterweight mounted in or on the rotating part of the crank mechanism or an eccentric flywheel. A shaft 5 is driven by a flexible shaft &c. and carries an eccentrically-mounted member 6 in which is journalled the crank-pin 8. The connecting-rod 12 is secured to the crank-pin andjoinedtothe tool-holder 13 by a ball and socket joint 21 so that the holder is reciprocated in a bush 14 but is free to adjust itself about its own axis in order that the tool secured in a socket 22 may adjust itself into the working plane. A spring 23 allows the tool to retract, if it should meet undue resistance. An enlarged bore 10 is formed in the member 6 and, as it is of such dimensions that the weight removed equals the weight of the rotating parts of the crank mechanism, the member 6 forms an eccentric mass which, adjusted to any angular position to vary the crank-pin eccentricity, always balances the rotating parts of the crank mechanism. The member 6 extends to the edge of the shaft on one side, to facilitate its adjustment, and is locked by a screw 7. If the tool is required to work in any particular angular setting, a collar 26 having a slot 27 to engage the tool-clamping screw boss 28 can be displaced along the bush 14 and locked by a screw 29. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, an additional circular motion is given to a tool such as a grinding-block 33 which is universally mounted on a rod 32 pivoted on the tool-clamping screw 25 and oscillated by an additional journal-pin 31 on the crank-pin. The inner end of the rod 32 may be connected to the pin 31 by a bearing, as shown, or by a slot, in which case the rod is clamped to the screw 25 and the tool can then retract against the spring 23 if undue resistance is met. The cap 16 can be turned through 180 degrees to align holes 17 and 37 with the appropriate connecting-rods and the enlarged bore 10 can be filled with oil to lubricate the crank-pin through holes 30.

Abstract: 1304381 Control of DC motors EASTMAN KODAK CO 30 April 1970 [5 May 1969] 20857/70 Heading H2J [Also in Divisions G2-G3 and H1] In a filmstrip projector, the speed and direction of the reversible film drive motor are controlled by a circuit in which a silicon controlled rectifier CR17 controls the potential applied to the series field coil 62c and the armature 62a of the motor, a selectively variable impedance comprising variable resistor 128 and capacitor C4 being connected to the emitter of CR17 to control the point at which the rectifier conducts. The back e.m.f. developed in armature 62a is used to control the point at which rectifier CR17 fires in the cycle of applied alternating potential, and so to control the speed of the motor. The back e.m.f. is applied across resistor R 10  and a voltage dividing network through switches 118, 120, 138, and 140, the uni-junction transistor Q 1  being turned on earlier or later in the potential cycle depending on whether the e.m.f. is decreasing or increasing. The power supplied to the motor through CR17 is consequently increased or reduced to maintain constant speed depending on the preselected value of resistor 128. The motor 62 is of the universal type having a shunt field coil 62b in addition to the series coil 62c. The coil 62b is normally energized by members T 1  CR8, CR9 but is de-energized when it is desired to run the motor in a reverse direction at high speed, this de-energization being effected by operation of switches 114, 116, 138, 140 which also causes the rectifier CR17 to be by-passed so that the motor is supplied directly by the A.C. source 136. Operation of cams 101a, 101b respectively controlling switches 120, 118 causes the armature 62a and field coil 62c connections to be reversed to determine the direction of rotation of the motor. In another position of these switches, they short out the armature 62a to produce a braking effect on the motor.
